Well so far this is what I have done. I'm honestly more then happy with the performance that I have while rocking my '23 JTM on 37x13.5r17s. Its got more then enough grunt to get out into traffic w/o feeling like I'm a hinderance to traffic. The intake and exhaust tones are nice, but not annoying.

1) Mishimoto performance intake
2) MMX 4x4 80mm throttle body upgrade
3) AWE loop delete
4) AWE catback Trail exhaust
5) EVC iDrive throttle controller

At this point I'm more then pleased, no complaints or disappointments here. There are only a few more things I can think of that I might add at this point. Being the '23 have locked PCMs at this point not much I can do in regards to tuning.

My short list off additions remaining:

1) Mishimoto catch can
2) Mishimoto upgraded Trans Cooler
3) Ported intake manifold (upper/lower) - I will port it myself
4) 4.88s or 5.13s - sometime next year

Do the gears, it makes a huge difference on the manual. It is night and day -- like putting in a new motor. I have 5:13s in my JTR manual tranny with 37s, and I am glad I did 5:13s instead of the 4:88s. I live in a hilly, mountainous area on the west coast, so, I am never on a flat road.
Also, you will love your 4WH and 4WL gearing when you make the change. Much better offroad. Granny gear for rocks is much, much better.

I have the Mishimoto trans cooler, new, for sale if you would like. Bought it new last year, ended up not needing/wanting it after having it sitting in my garage, if you're interested that is.

Does the pedal monster get rid off-road plus? Or did it make off-road plus even more rowdy?

I've been debating what to do with my lethargic Mojave. It's a manual on 35's and is an absolute dog compared to my gf's manual wrangler sport s - 1,000 lbs of weight difference will do that.

Thought about supercharging (read horror stories about reliability). Thought about selling it and getting a wrangler 392 (money, but if i'm going to get 13 mpg it might as well be wild). Thought about regearing to 4.88.

The pedal commander mod would be the cheapest option.

HI, Not sure about off-road plus= don't know about it.. I can attest that on City at 75% hit the go pedal and it barks the tires in less than 1 second.. pulls much harder thru 3 gears and feels much quicker.. I'm good with it.. I am looking at a Livernois motorsports ECM Tune upgrade.. Search Livernois for threads.

Almost the same as minus a couple.

Mishimoto intake with dry filter
AWE Trail exhaust

i run 91 octane, call me crazy but I find it runs better and no ethanol is a bonus. I get on average 1 mpg better with 91 as E10 is proven to reduce mileage.

only other mod might be the AFE y pipe if they ever become available again. AFE states 8hp 14tq untuned.

i like the way my 22’ Mojave drives. Adequate power on 35” tires, alu cab canopy, aluminum rtt with awning. So it aint light but gets around just fine.

I have zero mods on my engine but i'll confirm it runs better on 92

Not good enough to pay that premium though

Sorry for late reply, family descended on us for the holidays…so did you stick with the stock fox shocks after the lift? I just bought mine so it’s stock right now, but this is all great info. Thanks!

With the AEV 2" lift for the Mojave, it retains the factory shocks.

Rides amazing. I just did a road trip from Maryland to Maine and rode amazing
